Charlottesville introduces incentives for electric landscaping equipment
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – The City of Charlottesville is excited to announce the introduction of a rebate program to support the purchase of electric landscaping equipment. This rebate program will help make cleaner, quieter landscaping equipment available to both residents and contractors. City residents are eligible for up to $200 in rebates, and city-based lawn care firms may receive up to $1,500 in rebates for purchases of battery-powered mowers, leaf blowers and string trimmers.
Electric equipment has proven capable in larger and more challenging landscaping jobs and is now well-suited for many commercial applications. The city’s Downtown Mall maintenance crew has transitioned to use of fully electric leaf blowers, a switch that has been embraced by crew members, who appreciate the lack of fumes, quiet operation and power of the electric blowers. Contractors can use this rebate program to help meet the increasing community demand for quieter landscaping options, while saving money through lower maintenance and fuel costs.
To help ensure battery safety, the city recommends purchasing rebate-eligible equipment through local retailers. For further information on this rebate program, including rebate applications and eligibility criteria, please visit: https://www.charlottesville.gov/2044/Electric-Landscaping-Rebates.
